Dog Boarding in Sydney

Why dog boarding ?

If you are planning to be away but can’t bring your furry best friend with you, Pawshake will help to connect you with a local Sydney pet sitter who offers dog boarding services. So instead of looking for a traditional kennel, why not try dog boarding with one of our Pawshake sitters to find a home away from home for your pooch?

Dog boarding with Pawshake lets your dog stay overnight with a pet sitter in their own home for one or more days. This means they will have all the love, care, and attention you could hope for from a dedicated sitter instead of a crowded kennel. So, what are you waiting for? Our pet sitters all over Sydney are excited meet your pup and welcome them into their family home for dog boarding.

Sydney is home to a vast number of choices when it comes to outdoor dog activities. Many of our active sitters have told us that they love taking their dog boarding clients for adventures around Centennial Park to check out the local wildlife or for a nice scenic stroll along the Bondi to Bronte walk. These are good all-weather places because they have plenty of shade (to keep out of the sun or wind) and lots of water fountains along the way to keep you and your furry family member hydrated.

During warmer months, if a dog loves water, our sitters love bringing their dog boarding clients to beaches or reserves where the water is calm. Your dog will love frolicking in the sand and splashing in the waters of Sirius Cove Reserve, Rose Bay Beach and Greenhills Beach just to name a few. Many of these places are also family friendly and have picnic tables so if you choose to go yourself, you can bring the whole family and make a day out of it. Our expert dog boarding sitters have advised that it is best to try and go early because some of these popular locations only have limited parking spots and it may also get a bit too hot for your dog during hot summer days.

If your dog is less active or wants to chill out after a big play at the beach, our sitters love bringing their dog boarding clients to a café to just chill out. Almost all Sydney cafes (especially in the Newtown, Enmore, and Alexandria areas) with outdoor seating welcome and love dogs of all kind. If in doubt look for a doggy water bowl outside the café – it’s a sure sign your dog is welcome! Some even have special menu items for your pup and will also give them a complimentary dog biscuit on arrival. Many of the staff at these cafes know a lot of the local dogs very well and are delighted to see them each time. We bet they can’t wait to meet and get to know your dog during their dog boarding stay!

In colder months or wet weather, there are a select number of Sydney cafes and pubs that also welcome dogs inside so don’t feel like your dog will be stuck at home during their dog boarding stay.

When you use Pawshake, you can feel comfortable leaving your dog because we manually check our dog boarding sitters carefully before accepting them on the platform and every booking is covered by our premium insurance. Trust and safety are a high priority for Pawshake and we want to make sure you feel comfortable too. Therefore, we recommend you arrange a meet and greet with your dog boarding sitter beforehand. This is important for your dog too as it can be a little challenging for some dogs to adapt to new places. So, spend the time to check out the sitter’s dog boarding environment beforehand and also let your dog meet any other family members or resident pets they will be staying with.
